Gate into backland off Victor Place, Woolhampton
A finger of countryside or farmland comes in from the north. The oak tree may once have been part of a field boundary.

GPSS pipeline markers
The Government Pipeline and Storage System has a route running closely parallel to the A4 for some distance. At settlements it usually deviates, to loop around the housing along the road as it was when installed in the 1940s. Here it appears to have done that, but more recent development has encroached on the route. The left hand post looks like an upright of the original marker which resembled a stile, usually in a hedge. The road boundary is now a garden fence. On the right a more recent marker carries the information plate of Serco Gulf Engineering who operate the pipeline on behalf of the government. The pipeline carries mainly oil products for civil use these days. The GPSS plate is applied beneath.

Junction of Victor Place and Woolhampton Hill
The houses up the hill are in the style of local authority houses, doubtless all now in private hands.

GPSS pipeline crossing point, Woolhampton Hill
The two markers on the left and the white post on the right mark the crossing for the light oil products line. The Government Pipeline and Storage System has a route running closely parallel to the A4 for some distance. At settlements it usually deviates, to loop around the housing along the road as it was when installed around WWII. Here it appears to have done that, but more recent development has meant it runs under the back gardens of houses on Orchard Close to the right. On the left it must be quite a tight squeeze between the housing.

North and upslope on Woolhampton Hill
One house is sold and another is for sale. The turning on the right is Orchard Close, an evocative name: does it record a lost feature? The tree on the left is a young Monkey Puzzle or Chile Pine, Araucaria araucana.
